"Lovely brand new hotel on a hillside overlooking the main center of Santa Elena. Beautiful clean rooms with clean water and bathrooms, new construction, 5 minute walk to town. The hosts are lovely and welcoming, providing advice to guests on all sorts of things. Communal breakfast in the morning is great too! Most of all, this property is run by a non-profit that supports children's education, so it's great to contribute to the cause by staying here."
"This is a family run hotel and the service was excellent throughout. Cristina welcomed us and was so very helpful with everything we needed.
Convenient for town and with a couple of good local restaurants on the doorstep."

"The property was beautiful- very lush and well kept. Our patio had a view of the volcano which was amazing. The room was spacious and beds very comfortable. The bathroom was wierd though in its layout- did not like the open shower. Liked being able to park near our front door and having no stairs or elevators. Excellent service though in all places. We like our four night stay here."
"Beautiful property, drinks from the bar amazing, pools were clean and gorgeous views. We enjoyed the privacy of the room and our jacuzzi bath on our patio. Rooms were very clean, food at the restaurants were reasonably priced and great quality. Breakfast is buffet style and they change up the main dishes. "
"Loved our stay here! The property/rooms were beautiful. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. The free coffee and popcorn in the evenings was a nice bonus. Wish we could’ve stayed here longer! "
"Wonderful spot to explore the cloud forest around Arenal volcano. Great trails for nature lovers with lots of birds and monkeys.
Great breakfast buffet. However, the dinner options were a little disappointing and pricey."
